The Week Ahead – Oracle for Monday 6 February 2017

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
~ Thomas A. Edison

Hello, Lovelies!

Here’s the oracle card I have chosen this Monday, and my take on the energetic outlook for the week ahead. I use any oracle or tarot cards shown as a prompt for channelled messages and my own intuitive wisdom, so my take is sometimes quite different to the meaning found in a book. ‘Perseverance’ is from the Chakra Wisdom Oracle Deck by Tori Hartman.

If you read my forecast for February, you’ll remember that February is all about turning inwards, and tuning in to our own wants and needs, staying true to ourselves and our goals despite our fears or what other people may tell us.

So, what gifts does Perseverance bring for you this week?

This week’ s card is a huge reminder to you to stick with your plan or actions. This is especially true if you’re just starting out. This is especially true if you’re battle-weary and the road has been long and hard.

Keep going. Don’t quit.

Call on the Universe. Call on God, your Guides, your Angels. Call on Nature. Call on the earth and the sky and the wise old trees. Call in your Ancestors.

Feel the Universe in every cell of your body. You are made of stardust and cosmic energy. You are brought to life by the sun itself. Your very existence is a miracle.

Keep going. Even if progress is hard, or it seems impossible just now.

Go quiet and go within. Fill yourself up with inspiration. Remind yourself of your why. Tune in to your inner value. Feel that stardust in your bones. Stay away from your critics and haters and doubters. Minimise time with the crazymakers in your life. Go it alone if you have to.

Perseverance is all about feeling and acknowledging your doubts and fears, but continuing anyway.

Perseverance is about knowing that when you rise up, others will too. You are never alone. Although it may feel like the world has gone mad, know that other people – just like you – are rising up beside you. There is a quiet revolution happening. Change is coming.

Don’t give up on your dreams, or your wishes for the world. Hold true to your vision for your best life.

Need extra support? Don’t be afraid to seek professional help. Find a good counsellor, a coach, a physician or lawyer.

This week, do the hard thing. Persevere with your plans. Act, even though you are frightened and anxious. As you decide, as you act, magic will begin to happen. You will begin to gain traction in your life again. Stuck will turn to flow.

Helpful essential oils? Young Living’s Believe essential oil blend, or a combination (or singly!) of any of Peppermint, Basil, Geranium and Lavender. I have a big soft spot for the Believe oil blend. It’s one of my go-to oils and it’s in my diffuser every time I work on my Planner, on my business, while I’m writing or journalling, or when I am considering making changes in my life. It smells beautiful too – uplifting and so pretty.

Holding you, as always, in my thoughts, prayers and meditations, and intending for a you a life of abundance and joy, where you are no longer limited by your doubts.

Hi! I'm Nicole Cody. I am a writer, psychic, metaphysical teacher and organic farmer. I love to read, cook, walk on the beach, dance in the rain and grow things. Sometimes, to entertain my cows, I dance in my gumboots. Gumboot dancing is very under-rated.

Very empowering, I’ve been stopping myself every time it gets hard endlessly, I often feeling like my own worse enemy. I see the light and I run away 😕. I love a quote I heard today though. “I’m one decision away from a good life” So keep it simple and focus on the little things. Feeling the divine love every time I read your work. Nicole. Thank you ☺️

Especially apt this week. I do not know for sure, but it looks like mum is slowing down. Maybe. She has not knitted on a chemo hat for two whole days. She needs a shower and does not want to take one. She sleeps more than she is awake. But, she may overcome. Again. To persevere is what I need to do this week.

My beliefs and practices have changed so much over the last year, it is such an interesting journey. I am learning so much, yet know so little. Whatever is happening is fascinating and wonderful as it unfolds. Lots of different aspects of my life seem to be gradually merging. Thank you for your guidance and continuing input. Much love. Mxxx.💝
